How to separate electron and hole mobilities in a intrinsic semiconductor?
I read in textbooks that the electric conductivity of a semiconductor is $\sigma=q(n\mu_n+p\mu_p)$, where $q$ is an electron's charge, $n$ and $p$ are the concentrations of electrons and holes, $\mu_n$...

Hall effect of Metal and Semiconductor [duplicate]
I am pretty much confused in the topic of Hall effect, as it is discussed in Metals and Semiconductor. My question is -
Hall effect in Metals is due to electron as they are in majority, so hall ...

How does the conductivities of metals and semiconductors vary when placed in the presence of magnetic field?
Suppose you have two materials one is a metal and other is a heavily doped semiconductor and they are placed in a magnetic field. What experiment will you do to distinguish between them? Does the ...

What does it mean to say that the majority carriers are holes?
Even when there are holes, the holes move only because electrons are jumping from one hole to the next. So why doesn't it make sense to say that electrons are the majority carriers in p-type ...

What is meant by compensating the Hall Voltage?
We're doing an experiment to measure the Hall Voltage as functions of current and magnetic field, and we're meant to Compensate the Hall Voltage for $B=0T$. What does this mean, and why do we do it?

Temperature influence on Hall Effect for semiconductor
Currently, I'm taking a course in modern physics experiments and last week I was asked to study the hall effect in a semiconductor. One of the experiments was with a germanium chip where a steady ...
